Genard Avery traded by Cleveland Browns, is Rashard Higgins next?

There’s been speculation for the majority of the season that Genard Avery could be on the move. A surprise player for the Cleveland Browns last season, Avery recorded 40 tackles and 4.5 sacks during his rookie campaign. That production gave fans hope that he could turn into a solid depth piece going forward.

However, the former fifth-round pick from Memphis never got a chance to make much of an impact this season. In his second year, Avery was active for just two games as it seemed he simply wasn’t a fit in the scheme of new defensive coordinator Steve Wilks.
